The Cast-Bronze Pendant Series based on Jewish Art & Hebrew

Wear Your History

Inspired by ancient coins and seals, these pendants are worn by women and men for casual or dress attire.

The pendants are made of cast-bronze using the ancient lost-wax method.  This method  was developed in the Ancient Near East in the late 4th millennium BCE, found then both in ancient Ur and Egypt.  

Rich in color, the light affects the polished bronze in various ways as shown by the photos.

History of Paleo-Hebrew

Paleo-Hebrew preceded the Hebrew we use today.  Paleo-Hebrew was used between 10^th century BCE -- 2^nd century CE, and its use decreased during the Babylonian exile when it was used mainly for writing the Tanakh. The following examples were written for a variety of reasons, some for everyday use, some considered sacred.

Talmudic sages have various opinions about Paleo-Hebrew and referred to it as ‘ktav ivrit’ some believing it was used during the Exodus.

Tel Zayit Stone

The oldest Paleo-Hebrew writing found are the Tel Zayit Stone and the Gezer Stone, both from 10th C BCE, the time of David and Solomon.

Tel Zayit Stone is a boulder inscribed with the alphabet.

The Samarian Ostraca (piece of pottery) dates about 850 BCE, and was found at the palace of Ahab, King of Israel. Its information is about bookkeeping and daily receipts.
